I'm not trans but I hate this as well 😭 my beard grows uneven so I can't even leave it on if I wanted to

Meanwhile my hairline loses land faster than the netherlands would if they didn't build dams

Oh damn hitting close to home today

Now this is relatable

[–] Blazingtransfem98@discuss.online 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm lucky I don't have the hair thinning problem. The beard sucks though, I always hated having a beard. It's one of the first signs looking back that I wasn't anywhere near as cis as I thought I was.

Its simple. Have an expert stick a probe into each follicle and zap it painfully with electricity. All it takes is a shit load of money, time, and pain!

I'm not trans but I can relate with this. I would live very happy without facial hair.

[–] Digestive_Biscuit@feddit.uk 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Same here. And it's not just for to shaving. Why do I have hair on my shoulders, back, etc. I'd be happy if every single person was bald. Nobody can complain then, no judgement on hair choice, colour, etc. knowing us humans though, we would fine ways to make our skulls look different.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Tattoos or scarification comes to mind. Weird piercings. Or funny hats.

I made up my mind very early that if/when I get bald, I'll just shave my head. Makes no sense to me to hold on to half dozen hairs on my head. But I wouldn't like to see everyone bald. I like seeing how people use their hair to express themselves. When I see someone with their hair dyed a wild color my only concern is how bad it may be for the hair and if I'm crossing that narrow line between looking and staring. But the look? Really not my concern. Makes the world a more interesting place to exist.

i made up my mind as a teen that if i started going bald im rocking the costanza look like my grandpa did

How do you wear your 80s style moustache without facial hair?

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 5 points 8 months ago (6 children)

I don't. That simple.

And why does scalp hair not? 😭

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (4 children)

Started using a facial hair removal cream, and holy shit what a difference it has made. My face is so much smoother now, and it stays smoother for way longer! Highly recommend for any femboys or transfems looking for a good facial hair solution.

Edit:

For everyone asking, I use this! Not sponsored, I do not claim this is safe, but it's worked well for me the last few times I've used it and I haven't noticed any longterm issues. I apply it on heavy and let it sit for a little over 4 min, then I can just wipe away all the beard hair.

Would you mind sharing the name of the product you're using? Thanks!!

[–] nicky7@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago

Thank you! That happens to be what I decided on trying! (I'm impatient so had already started researching :P)

[–] Blazingtransfem98@discuss.online 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This is awesome, I will try this out. I always hated how shaving made my face scratchy and very close shaves often gave me cuts. This seems almost too good to be true, I guess I'll know if it is or not when I get it.

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

ngl, it feels like a potion I've obtained from a witch or something. It's so weird to just kinda...rub the hair off your face. I'm certainly under their spell, idk what could make me go back to razors for my face ever again.

[–] nicky7@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 months ago

Hilariously ineffective for my very coarse hair. 🀣 Don't get me wrong, I really do appreciate the tip, and I'm happy it works for you. πŸ’• I do plan on giving it another go, but there was no noticeable impact on my facial hair after using it the first time.

I tried on about 1mm stubble. It felt like a cooling agent on my skin. I waited near 7 minutes (the max according to instructions), and while I could see bits of hair on the towel after wiping, there was no noticeable result on my face.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Any recommendations for something full-body?

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 months ago

Have not found anything I like yet. I've just been sticking with waxing.

My older brother told the excited me that was beginning to grow facial hair that it's a curse cause you keep shaving and the next day it's back. I basically agree now.

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Some races are really cursed like persians, middleeasterns, indians, and some serbians. It's crazy monkey shit. extensive hair growing in the middle of your neck every fucking day. Your knuckles and arms look like that of a wolf. I swear one day you'd slit your throat with the razor you're shaving with because this shit wont stop. Or how about in the middle of your upper back, physically unreachable area of your body. And wtf is the pointing of that hair while I'm balding I need it on top of my head.

I got a nood flasher laser (light?) hair removal device for my wife a few months ago. It is safe to use on faces, but it does not work for all skin and hair colors.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 8 months ago (2 children)

A few laser sessions seem to have not made a difference to me sadly

Rip and tear. Rip and tear until it is done.

(I wouldn't recommend this but I can't stop doing it)

[–] NeuroQueerSpeed@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 8 months ago

Actually you can! Gently with tweezers or if you like to feel like a thousend bees sting you at once, you can use an epilator.

Ouch

[–] Blazingtransfem98@discuss.online 6 points 8 months ago

I hate it too, facial hair sucks. I wish I could just get rid of it. Sadly it might be a while before I can get electrolysis.

[–] random@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

am I the only one whos facial hair started growing extremely slow after starting hrt?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Mine slowed, then laser did wonders. Then I hit my late 20s and it started coming in again because biology is a dick sometimes

[–] will_steal_your_username@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

mine's going just as strong as before

[–] random@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

[–] will_steal_your_username@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 months ago
